Summary:
The Wadena-Deer Creek School District in Minnesota is home to a single middle school, Wadena-Deer Creek 5th And 6th Grade. This school serves a predominantly white student population, with a relatively diverse mix of African American, Hispanic, and multiracial students. While the school's overall academic performance lags behind state averages, its 5th-grade students excel, outperforming their peers statewide in both Math and Reading proficiency.
The school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with over 58% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high rate of economic disadvantage likely contributes to the school's lower overall test scores compared to the state. However, the strong performance of 5th-grade students suggests that the school may be employing effective instructional strategies that could be replicated to improve outcomes across all grade levels.
With a student-teacher ratio slightly higher than the state average, the Wadena-Deer Creek 5th And 6th Grade school has room for improvement. By addressing the socioeconomic challenges faced by its students and building on the success of its 5th-grade program, the school has the potential to raise its overall academic performance and better serve the needs of the Wadena-Deer Creek School District community.
